The Ogoh-Ogoh Come Out For Nyepi

One of the highlights of the Balinese Nyepi festival is the Ngrupuk parade, where the Ogoh-ogoh are carried through every street in every town.  Ogoh-ogoh are statues made by each neighborhood to ward off evil demons and ‘cleanse’ the island of Bali at the end of each calendar year.  Watch the video below to get a small taste of the Ogoh-ogoh in action!
